Rally has flashback of his female comrade about that the future they longed dream is about to come

I dunno, that seemed more like a dream/wishful thinking episode to me :\ (And was it just me, or did she bear quite a huge resemblance to Rita?)

Also: is it just me, or is this series trying to go all Evangelion on us? You had the "Case of $name" ep a little while back (I forget who it was, exactly, but those words flashed up on the screen, and I was just WTF), the synch testing at RUC, the huge coverups about a big disaster that happened some time back and has had a major impact on every one of the characters, and Rally's guiding his perfect specimen for the program, in the form of Re- er, Rose, down to a top-sekrit bunker full of something that looked large and robotic...

Not implying that this series will ever approach the glorious levels of headfuck that Eva managed, and nor am I saying that Rally is as gloriously messed-up an antagonist as Ikari Gendo. I just find it interesting...

Man I can't wait to see Rally dead he is an evil evil man. Well appears we will get some major answers in whatever luggage Josef sent to him. Maybe even find out more about Solty since he definitely wasn't suprised to see her the first time and possibly if she was made bay RUC might have an internal program to override her. Possibly she somehow broke the program and escaped from RUC. Hmm.. so many unanswered questions I sure hope to see some answers in the next episode.

Episode twenty is definitely a must see because the plot revelations regarding Blast Fall and the girls are shed into the light, however, I will be grateful with anyone that has certain understanding of Japanese to explain some of the bigger conversations that reveal what was going on throughout the plot.

Spoiler:

Roy's home is being watched on by RUC agents in expectance to get catch of Axcela and Integra. For her part, Integra sneaks outside to locate the whereabouts of Josef in town, which her timing intercepts a package sent from Josef to Roy's home address. Eventually, her search leads her to the same place she and other children where relocated and tested by RUC.

Solty's gone shopping groceries and feels hopeless for not providing any help. She's unawared crossing paths with Rally himself. The first revelation displays quite a shocker, because Rally knows who Solty is.Rally: It's been a while Dické! (addressing to Solty)

Kasha and Miranda found Solty in a garbage dump virtually lifeless and took her back home. Integra also returned to Roy's to inform Axcela in secret that she's going to assault RUC to expose Rally's scheme and what has been working on and leaves the package in Axcela's care to deliver it to Roy, which contains a chip.
Obviously, Axcela wants to accompany Integra too, however, she catches Axcela off guard and knocks her unconscious, apologizing for what she's about to do.

The rest of the cast wonders what they can do for Solty, fortunately, an unexpected guest arrives to be Josef, and he too knows much about Solty than meets the eye.
Second revelation: Josef extracts a piece of chip from Solty, and her systems turn on. Then, Josef speaks sense to Solty, but she replies in monotone and with cold eyes.Solty: Solty? Who is that? I am Dické.
Solty's system shuts down again.

Josef bares into the light to Miranda, Roy, and Larry that twelve years ago after Blast Fall, several orphaned children were picked up by RUC for a covert program to involve a super soldier experiment.

Third Revelation
PRO-SID refers to children that survived the Blast Fall and were imbued with nanomachines that were disseminated into the aurora by cause of Blast Fall. Naturally, RUC hold a great interest for this subjects to train them as super soldier agents.
Integra, Axcela, Sylvia, and Celica are PRO-SID whose nanomachines grant them supernatural strength, endurance, speed, and stamina once they put on the suits.
However, Josef discloses that PRO-SID cannot make use of their nanomachines for longer periods because will cause irreversible damage to the body due to the physiological strain on the body.

PRO-SID can easily be identified, when they activate their nanomachines glowing marks or stripes appear in their faces.

Josef reveals that one his comrades, Ashley Links, was responsible and chief director for the project.

At RUC HQ, Integra chrases to the front and immediately makes her way past flocks of armored guards. Naturally, Rally is informed of the break in and takes the matter personally.
Integra digs her way down to the core of HQ and discovers the giant machine that Rally has been secretly checking on. Rally discloses to Integra that it doesn't matter anymore his interest on PRO-SID like her or the other. Everything he has done is for the future (his and that person).
Integra quickly deduces that Rally is the prime perpetrator of the Blast Fall. (Fourth revelation)

Kudos to the artwork due that Rally is at the prime of his best lunacy and psychosis. His eyes are just that bizarre that makes him look like a mad scientist.

Integra is not letting Rally to have his way, and the crazy fight ensues.The fight is the highlight for this episode because Integra goes literally apeshit on Rally.
Integra activates her nanomachines, and her suit powers up to super mode.

With blurring speed, she launches multiple barrages of kicks but Rally blocks them all effortlessly. Following, Rally goes psycho mode on Integra, grabs her by the arm, and slams her hard against the wall. Integra suffers damage due to the ill effects of her nanomachines taking toll on her body, yet she retaliates with more punch and kick trading.
She goes for a finishing blow to Rally's neck that proves to be quite effective if weren't for the fact that Rally's big revelation is that he's also a full-fledged resemble, but his resemble is made of a different alloy that proves effective against PRO-SID.
Integra is already strained and dried up, her body is suffering spams all over and cannot keep herself standing. She tries to crawl, but Rally has enough of the game and prepares one last coup, powering his left fist with electrical surges.
He goes for the kill attempting to punch Integra on her spine, however, Integra on a last desperate move teleports above Rally and strikes down under with a tornado drilling kick.

Elsewhere, Axcela donning what appears to be a mecha suit is surrounded by test tubes containing pink crystals each of them.Axcela: I'm not forgiving you, Ashley Links.

Hmm.. just watched episode 20 finally. So I have a question did they migrate here or was this like a prison planet? And I'm really curious who is Solty than another like Rally but had his mind wiped and a new identity by Rally? Rally is not only a true lunatic but also one that want's all the power himself and if their was another like him it would be just like him to do that to a fellow comrade.

I am leaning towards some type of prison planet because if the aura shell was by them to keep the air in it seems he would just have turned off the shell and blasted off in his own private rocket saying screw the rest of the people. But instead he's trying to find a way to pierce it and escape it seems.

Josef and Ashley Links, a.k.a. Rally, in their respective explanations revealed that two hundred years ago the ancestors who colonize the world built a revolutionary super-computer of the most hi-tech A.I. ever possibly conceived.

The A.I. was christened EUNOMIA, and it functions on basis of nano-components that are connected to nerve-like wire terminals. EUNOMIA fundamentally functions as a catalyst to pump or draw humongous amounts of energy, using the mechanisms it infects.

All Resemble parts have nano components that are remotely operated by EUNOMIA. When EUNOMIA woke up, it sends sound signals that drove insane those people who have Resemble parts, Rally is not exception.

The Resemble people automatically became automaton zombies and start attacking their non-Resemble human peers. In order to deactivate them without killing them, Solty instructs the gang to damage any Resemble part avoiding vital parts.

Josef also mentioned that Solty was made from the same technology, though he left ambiguous to which kind of technology he was referring to.
I want to make note that when EUNOMIA started to broadcast the viral transmission Solty was unaffected, even though she's full Resemble. It makes to theorize that she and EUNOMIA were made from the same technology, and likely Solty is the counterpart to the A.I. that Rally keeps concealed in an underground lake beneath RUC HQ.

EUNOMIA basic form is that of medium-sized sphere with circuitry spikes extending nerve-wires.

It is also explained that to operate the system it is needed a communication link that interfaces with EUNOMIA. This sounds like the wired or plugging system of the MATRIX.
Rally selected Rose for that task viewing that she was a unique type of PROSID able to interface with the A.I.

Axcela understands why were those tests running on her and what she eavesdropped from Rally and Rose conversation, moments before Sylvia's murder.

Rally has Rose to interlink with EUNOMIA to assimilate the data at geometric scale.

From a remote terminal, Axcela is interlinking the system to try and hack the A.I. with viral signature, however, her PROSID nanomachines are quickly taking toll on her body, and she quickly gasps and cries in pain as vomiting blood.
Axcela is taking vengeance against Rally on his own game, however, EUNOMIA's A.I. starts to overwhelm her.

The reason that Rally selected Rose could possibly be due that she's a PROSID, whose nanomachines do not both physically and mentally strain her for longer periods of usage, and thus be able to fully assimilate into EUNOMIA.

Solty senses an imminent danger, and her hunch turns right due that a titanic machine station (the one that Rally was keeping hidden) takes off and stands floating above RUC HQ.

Axcela is in control of the station, but she quickly looses her sanity and orders the station to fire a particle beam canon. The blast happens miles to the west of the city, leaving damage of nuclear scale. It's obvious that station is a weapon of mass destruction.

For anyone who saw Jigoku Shoujo episode 24 and looked how the reserved, calm Ai went totally ape-shit, you have to give special kudos and appraisal for Mamiko Noto who voices also Axcela.

When Axcela went nuts, she started to laugh psychotically and hearing that sent shivers down my spine. You ought to see hear and see her at the end of the episode.

There was a slight change with the OP sequence. Now features Axcela donning her own power suit like the rest of the RUC ladies. A silver-gray colored one with purple plates.

Actually, Rally is the one trying to hack into Eunomia, using Rose. Eunomia controls the water supply of the whole city as well as Resemble, and as Rose tries to hack into its system, Eunomia makes all of the Resemble go berserk.
It took Rally all that time between the blast fall and now to develop the Proceed project so he could get a way to supersede Eunomia.
Apparently his ultimate goal is to destroy Eunomia, then leave the planet (everyone will eventually die, but I guess he doesn't care).

It sucks for me not be able to fully understand Japanese.

Spoiler:

It means that the Blast Fall incident was the outcome of Rally's previous, failed attempt to hack into EUNOMIA, right?

Due that next week the spring season starts and trouble with arranging time slots, Solty Rei gets a 90 minutes broadcast.

As you're reading, the last three episodes are being broadcasted straight in a row. (22-24)

I cannot comment upon it, because it is too much load for me to look at the humongous loads of pics at futaba and start my synopsis. Henceforth, I will wait and arrange things when I get free time to spare.
